Long Exposure with Water

Last week Colin's photo of DT Oakland was the winner. Guess a few people liked my Go Pro Camera in the dryer but I agree, Colin's was a better picture.  I hope I got the back of the dryer on correctly.

This week was my choice.  I just wanted to keep it simple. A long exposure picture of water. And because this contest is about us learning from each I have asked for shutter speed, ISO and apature setting. 

A long exposure shot is where the shutter is open 2 seconds or more. Lots of creative options.

Colin was too caught up in work this week so he's not involved. Just me and Kekai.

Technology is Everywhere

Well, Kekai really had a good photo that the judges really liked. He was the winer of the "Simply Complicated" contest. His was photo B. Also worth noting - he took that pic with an, I think, 4 year old iPhone. I did ask Colin and he said, no, you don't need special glasses to view his pic. It's supposed to be that way. 

This week Colin chose "Technology is Everywhere" as the next topic. And this week its just me and Colin.

Simply Complicated

I'd like to congratulate Kekai on his great runner up photo. It was taken with his iPhone. I'm impressed with the pic and I think it shows his talent as a photographer that he did it with a phone and not a relatively sophisticated DSLR camera.
My pic of the photographers at Ala Moana Beach Park was the one that got the most votes from the judges.
This week Kekai chose "simply complicated" as the topic. I don't think he had any communication with Colin but what's up with these vague topics? Reminds me of Colin's "The Void" idea. Oh well, we all gave it our best shot.
Thank you for being Judges. I've made it easier for those who were looking for that.

Silhouette

Last week Colin won "Beneath the Surface,"  I had all sorts of great ideas for that one that I never got around to. Had to grab one from my "portfolio." Maybe we'll revisit it in the future. Congrats Colin. Care to explain your winning photo? 

This week the topic is "Silhouette." 

You can judge in the usual way in the comments below the post (if you are the first one to post a comment it says "no comments." Click that. OR ... see the Vote on Silhouette gadget on the right sidebar? Vote there. Don't do both.
